Mgmt Quotes

• “This quarter reflected continued execution of our long-term strategy, building America's first and only vertically integrated uranium fuel supply chain from mining through refining and conversion.” (CEO)
• “We sold 200,000 pounds of U3O8 at $101 per pound, approximately 25% above the quarterly average price of about $80 per pound.” (CEO)
• “We are thrilled with the completion of construction at Burke Hollow, which is now the newest ISR uranium mine in the United States.” (CEO)
• “These are normal growing pains when an industry transitions from dormancy back into expansion.” (CEO)
• “With the largest uranium resource base in the United States, growing production infrastructure and a clear pathway towards expanding our role across the nuclear fuel cycle, we believe UEC is well positioned for the next phase of growth in the Uranium market.” (CEO)

Prepared Metrics

Q&A Batch (1-4 of 4)

Q1 — Brian Lee

• Topic: Uranium sales strategy, inventory monetization, and Solstice conversion capacity expansion
• Key points:
  • No subsequent event notes for additional sales beyond the $101/lb realized in the quarter.
  • UEC finished the quarter with $1.46 million of inventory on hand; 244,000 lbs of precipitated uranium and dried/drum at Irigaray pending ramp-up.
  • Only two header houses at Christensen Ranch carried bulk production; new header houses constructed at Christensen Ranch and Burke Hollow (completed) pending regulatory approval.
  • Solstice feasibility study advancing with Fluor; U.S. only meets half of domestic conversion demand, with expansion needed for SMRs, advanced reactors, and government programs.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — 100% unhedged strategy positioned to capture upside in a structural deficit market, with strong balance sheet ($818M liquid assets, no debt).

Q2 — Alexander Pearce

• Topic: Quarter-on-quarter production decline and ramp-up timeline
• Key points:
  • Production drop driven by focus on completing construction at Christensen Ranch (new header houses) and Burke Hollow (newest U.S. uranium mine, completed).
  • Two existing header houses (10-7 and 10-8) carried majority of production; four new header houses in wellfield 11 ready for recirculation but await state regulatory approval (non-significant revisions).
  • Regulatory approvals expected in "days and weeks, not months and quarters"; once approved, chemicals (oxygen, carbon dioxide) on-site for immediate activation.
• Mgmt stance: Neutral — optimistic about short-term approvals and ramp-up, but no specific timeline guidance; production weighted to second half of fiscal year, increasingly to Q4.

Q3 — Joseph Reagor

• Topic: Regulatory approval timelines and production/sales data disclosure
• Key points:
  • No specific timeline from regulators; approval days/weeks, not months/quarters expected.
  • UEC does not provide production/sales guidance pre-earnings due to unhedged strategy and strategic U.S. government sales (Section 232, U.S. reserve, DOE).
  • Total working capital requirements for production expansion are adequately funded; inventory sales positioned for maximizing returns.
  • Realized price of $100+ per pound in the quarter.
• Mgmt stance: Neutral — collaborative but non-committal on regulatory timelines; bullish on the value of unhedged positioning for maximizing shareholder returns.

Q4 — Justin Chan (question paraphrased as by Amir Adnani)

• Topic: Production ramp-up progress, preconditioning lead times for new header houses
• Key points:
  • Current production from two header houses (wellfields 8 and 10) at Christensen Ranch; four header houses in wellfield 11 constructed, pressure tested, awaiting state approval.
  • Wellfield 12: three header houses under construction (97% wells cased); wellfield 10 extension: header house 10-9 (94% wells cased) with pattern layout completed.
  • Preconditioning period is very short; chemicals added quickly after approval to start leaching; Texas start-up follows same process as Wyoming.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — continued investment in wellfield development while awaiting approvals; Q3 start-up possible but increasingly weighted to Q4.
